try booting from a Windows installation disc. Choose the repair installation option. If this does not work, you may have to erase (format) your whole drive and start over again by reinstalling Windows from scratch.

Before erasing the drive, you might want to pull it out, put as a second drive in another working computer or inside a USB hard drive case and download all of your information from it. Otherwise you may have a mess on your hands with lost data/documents/photos.

Read the installation instructions completely before attempting to install the camera. Although this may seem tedious and unnecessary, it can save time and headaches in the long run.

Back up the computer's hard drive just to be safe. This will allow for a speedy recovery should the installation mess up the computer.

Install the webcam software. Before deciding to install the disc that came with the camera, check the Internet for an updated version of the software and download that if available.

Plug in the webcam. The software should give a prompt at the appropriate time. Cameras are usually installed with a USB cable. If installed correctly, the computer will acknowledge so by popping up a message saying it can see the new device.

Download an instant message program if using the web camera for chatting. Some free IM download programs include Yahoo Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger and Apple iChat.

Here are the eRecovery steps, below that is a link for creating the password reset disc for future use.

Your computer has the capability to reinstall the original factory operating system including all drivers and factory installed software without needing to use cd's, as long as the hidden PQSERVICE partition still exists, and the Master Boot Record has not been damaged.Please read these direction through completely before beginning*Please note, this will erase all data on the C partition of your hard drive. Back up all important information prior to following these steps. Regular data backup is the responsibility of the customer. If you can't backup your data for any reason, please contact a local computer technician for assistance. Backup fees are not covered under warranty.*

Do not allow the system to shut down during this process. Plug in the AC adapter if necessary.

Turn the system onAs soon as you see the Acer splash screen, press ALT and F10 together once, then release both keysThe ALT key is located to the left of the space bar and the F10 key is along the top of the keyboard.It should show a screen stating "Starting Acer Erecovery".You will also see a screen showing Windows XP, don't worry, the original operating system that shipped on the computer is what will be installed.

There will be 4 options:1. Restore system to factory default2. Restore system from user backup3. Restore system from CD/DVD4. ExitChoose option 1 (if you would like directions for the other options, please let us know)1. Restore system to factory defaulta. Enter the password you created when you first entered eRecovery.b. Read the on-screen warning and choose Yes or No. If you choose no the recovery will stop.c. Click Next. The recovery will start.When recovery is complete the system will startup and you will need to complete the setup of Windows (assigning time zones, user names etc.)

When setup is complete Vista will clean up the files needed to perform the recovery. Please be patient as this process can take a while. After Vista is installed Windows will startup and it will show the desktop with the icons, you will think that it is complete. It is not, you need to wait. Now is when the installation of all the Acer software begins. It will start and stop several times, so you may think that it is complete when it is not. By interrupting this process, you cause it to not install properly and this message on the screen is the most typical result. I would say if it appears to be completed, wait about 15 more minutes, then restart the computer.

Well u need to install the drivers properly..Might be possible that u would had installed ur driver previously. I'll suggest u to remove the previous installed driver & now try to install the driver again, say fresh driver installation..Now when u are asked to plug in the usb cable, click later or no & continue..

later when every wizard of installation is completed, restart ur machine once... Now after restarting, now plug in ur usb printer cable... Even after that u find that device is not recognized, go to device manager from My Computer's Properties..Select go to USB Section ( Always the Last Option)Expand the tab & select the unknown device.. Uninstall it & then press F5. Now again a pop up wil occur, now follow the instructions & install the driver manually..

I hope this will work out.. If not, feel free to ask.. I'll love to help u...

If u like my post, please rate me up, i really need some good ratings..Thanks !!!

Smartview is supposed to work with Vista. Did you right-click on the install file and run as administrator?

If you can not get it to work there is a work around.

First, download and install the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software. After installation, plug in your BlackBerry and start
up the software for the first time. Open the Options -> Connection
Settings… window and set the connection to USB. Plug in the BlackBerry,
enter your password if applicable, and Vista will find the device and
install a “standard modem”.
Open the Control Panel
Network and Internet
Connect to a network
Set up a connection or network
Set up a dial-up connection
Select Standard Modem
Dial-up phone number is #777Connect.

Everything should work, some have reported faster speeds using this method over the Smartview program.
